McCain SMACKS DOWN Obama, Who SMACKS DOWN McCain

by Jim Newell  1:02 pm February 25, 2010

The lunch break of ancient lore has finally been taken! (Except for House members, who are taking special-ed buses back to their House to vote on something.) Passionate chatter leading to nothing will recommence at 1:45. Here’s TPM’s “Obama vs. McCain Redux” clip, “Redux” because they ran against each other, for president, twenty or thirty years ago. SMACKDOWN. BOOM BOOM BAM. [YouTube]

Let the hair go with the hide!

Way Cool Larry February 25, 2010 at 1:07 pm

The irony is that Walnuts is engaged in a (furious primary challenge) campaign, so that might be why he is resorting to platitudes. Nonetheless– ZING!

V572625694 February 25, 2010 at 1:11 pm

Hahahaha….This is not-so-good news for Panamanian strongman Juan McCain.

Monsieur Grumpe February 25, 2010 at 1:13 pm

I can’t get youtube to play. Are they really hitting each other?

MLHencken February 25, 2010 at 1:13 pm

Walnuts actually has decent access to his own short-term memory? Amazing.

Sussemilch February 25, 2010 at 1:16 pm

I’m waiting for Obama to get pissed off and start beating people unconscious with his cock. –Don’t look at me funny, every Republican in the room is thinking the same thing.

FMA February 25, 2010 at 1:17 pm

Not that he’s at all bitter about it.

Extemporanus February 25, 2010 at 1:18 pm

McCAIN: “What the hell is it today? Less than 12% of the people in this city are colored people. I can’t even have a dish of Oregon Bosenberry without runnin’ into one of them.”

OBAMA: “Let me just make this point, John, because we’re not campaigning anymore. The election is over.”

ManchuCandidate February 25, 2010 at 1:19 pm

I haven’t seen a smackdown this rough since Sarah Palin lost to a rock in an IQ test.

Seriously, Juan McCain should know that one doesn’t enter a battle of wits unarmed.

RoscoePColtraine February 25, 2010 at 1:21 pm

I haven’t played the clip yet, so forgive me for asking, did Walnuts refer to the president as “That One” again, while pointing to Obama without actually looking at him, with a slight stabbing motion with his pointy arm? Whoa-ho! That would be sweet.

lennixlewis February 25, 2010 at 1:22 pm

This Politico BiYOTCH is driving me insane.

Katydid February 25, 2010 at 1:23 pm

Oh, man, it looked like it near killed Walnuts to have to call Hopey “Mr. President.” Sometimes life is just sweet.

Hooray For Anything February 25, 2010 at 1:23 pm

My guess is Obama has been dreaming about saying that right to McCain’s face every day for the past year or so.

Extemporanus February 25, 2010 at 1:24 pm

[re=519801]MLHencken[/re]: Did you ever see Memento?

It’s pretty much exactly like that, only instead of being reminded every day by his own tattoos, John McCain awakens each morning to the sight of a lingerie-clad Lindsey Graham scrawling talking points on his pale, scarred, naked body with a vanilla-scented Crayola magic marker.

Extemporanus February 25, 2010 at 1:25 pm

[re=519804]Sussemilch[/re]: Looking, or hoping?..

freakishlystrong February 25, 2010 at 1:25 pm

[re=519804]Sussemilch[/re]: And can you imagine the Drudge siren for that?

nappyduggs February 25, 2010 at 1:25 pm

Eff this diplomacy. I wanna she President Cat Daddy put Ol’Unkie Pissbag in a redundant sleeper hold, just in case his antiquity doesn’t kick in before he opens his trap again.

comicbookguy February 25, 2010 at 1:26 pm

My friends…

Mojopo February 25, 2010 at 1:26 pm

That exchange was too subtle for the American people. While we had a high old time watching it happen, this exchange doesn’t mean diddly to people who raise their kids on a World Wrestling Federation-based value system.

Extemporanus February 25, 2010 at 1:27 pm

[re=519816]Extemporanus[/re]: [re=519804]Sussemilch[/re]: That shoulda been “Thinking, or hoping?”, but I typed what I was doing instead of what I was masturbating.

DAMN! Did it again! “Instead of what I was thinking.” Thinking, thinking, thinking.

BlueStateLiberal February 25, 2010 at 1:28 pm

The way McCrazy thinks, the “special interests” are the average American getting reamed daily by their health insurance company.

ForTheTurnstiles February 25, 2010 at 1:29 pm

[re=519807]Extemporanus[/re]: In Oregon, we call ‘em Marionberries, and they make the best fuckin pie. This is why Obama took Oregon, btw.

Ruhe February 25, 2010 at 1:30 pm

[re=519804]Sussemilch[/re]: Best. Fantasy. Ending. Ever.

SayItWithWookies February 25, 2010 at 1:32 pm

“I’m reminded of that every day — each morning when I wake up in my gold-and-blue Navy pajamas and hit the intercom button and yell to Carlton that he’s late with my English Muffin and my Washington Star and he’s in a world of trouble if the NVA has pushed south of Nha Trang and I don’t see it first thing in the morning. And then that old brittle crone I must’ve picked up the night before in some dark lounge tells me that Carlton’s been dead retired for thirty years and dead for eight, the Star went under decades ago and that Saigon is now called Ho Chi Minh city. Well I’m confused for a while, but then have a laugh over it and say ‘I must tell this amusing anecdote to Hubert Humphrey at the Senators game this afternoon.’”

proudgrampa February 25, 2010 at 1:33 pm

Whooooooo!

Go, Barry, GO!

RoscoePColtraine February 25, 2010 at 1:35 pm

“I like you well enough, Hillary.”

Lascauxcaveman February 25, 2010 at 1:35 pm

I love it when that young colored kid reminds the adults to please try and act like grownups. I’m still waiting for one of those old yokels to ump up and yell “You Lie!” Maybe they didn’t invite that guy for this very reason.

It’s possible that no good change will come from this bit of theater, but Barry sure ain’t gonna lose any debates with these old fossils.

smitallica February 25, 2010 at 1:35 pm

Oh my god. I played this clip on a loop and fapped to it. Seriously.
Thanksfully, it only took two times through. Back to work!

RoscoePColtraine February 25, 2010 at 1:36 pm

[re=519804]Sussemilch[/re]:
Could I be there, as a seat warmer when that happens?

The Legend of TeaBagger Vance February 25, 2010 at 1:37 pm

over on Red State, they are literally reporting right now that:

“Eric Cantor takes Obama’s 27 BILLION page healthcare gov’t takeover bill, smears it with astroglide, and anally rapes the president with it.”

how’s that for a “smackdown”, bitches!

imissopus February 25, 2010 at 1:39 pm

[re=519815]Extemporanus[/re]: Thank you for making me spit oatmeal all over my laptop.

DickTaterPeeNoShay February 25, 2010 at 1:43 pm

The election’s over? Who won?

S.Luggo February 25, 2010 at 1:43 pm

Pure and simple, that was elder abuse and it’s something to be encouraged.

Mustang February 25, 2010 at 1:46 pm

Translation:

Walnuts: We don’t like your bill because we don’t like anything that doesn’t give tax cuts to the rich, so I’m going to attempt to act like I care about poor people and you don’t, even though no one likes me or believes anything I say anymore.

Hopey: Keepin’ it real as usual, aren’t you Dickhead?

Walnuts: Hack Hack. Choke. Choke. Grunt. Wheeze.

petehammer February 25, 2010 at 1:47 pm

[re=519835]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Well done, sir.

JMP February 25, 2010 at 1:47 pm

[re=519826]BlueStateLiberal[/re]: Well, of course; McCain knows we need to stop the monsters who threaten the interests of America’s great corporations, out of concern for those peons whose lives don’t even matter anyway.

The Other Sarah T February 25, 2010 at 1:54 pm

[re=519852]S.Luggo[/re]: Exactly ! Take away his pudding, Barry !

Extemporanus February 25, 2010 at 1:56 pm

[re=519829]ForTheTurnstiles[/re]: I’ve had marrionberry pie — it’s like crack with a crust!

My Applebee’s waiter put one out in Denver ’cause I wouldn’t suck his dick.

(By the way, Spencer Tracy calls them Oregon Boysenberries. I guess that makes him a racist.)b>

One Yield Regular February 25, 2010 at 1:56 pm

What a sad spectacle John McCain has become. It’s too bad he doesn’t have a director who could have pulled in the understudy years ago.

Extemporanus February 25, 2010 at 1:58 pm

[re=519847]imissopus[/re]: Perhaps next time you’ll wear a condom.

carlgt1 February 25, 2010 at 2:04 pm

I just love how the big Repuke politician talking point is how it’s 2400 (or 2700) pages long, as if that immediately discredits it.

Just for their idiot constituents who can’t read anything longer than a Bible verse (and they still misinterpret and screw that up)…..

Long Form Def Certificate February 25, 2010 at 2:30 pm

This event is without doubt GREAT NEWS for JOHN MC CAIN. But Lindsey Graham still needs to know if Health Care Reform will cover him if he chokes on WALNUTS!

JMP February 25, 2010 at 2:32 pm

[re=519873]One Yield Regular[/re]: You seem to have forgotten who McCain’s understudy was; he’s a sad spectacle, yes, but still better than that retard.

Doglessliberal February 25, 2010 at 2:34 pm

FIVE AND A HALF YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

eclecticbrotha February 25, 2010 at 2:43 pm

Boy, will Meghan be pissed. On the other hand, I’m pretty sure Cindy just did an end zone dance, back-flipped and high fived the maid when she heard Obama pimp slap her insignificant other.

Diana Davies February 25, 2010 at 2:47 pm

Yeah, McCain. Who’s your daddy now.

chaste everywhere February 25, 2010 at 3:25 pm

[re=519808]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Best description of the vice-presidential debate I’ve read, though Joe B. might be hurt you called him a rock.

germansteel February 25, 2010 at 3:32 pm

Why didn’t he just say, “You’re only here because your caucus knows you’re in trouble back home in the upcoming primary, and you never have had any idea what the health care and health insurance debate is all about because you are over your head in this town today, just like you were last year, like you were when your second wife’s family bought you your seat 30 years ago, and like you will be forever. I am glad, though, that they were stupid enough to waste one of their seats at this table on you, and you were egotistical enough to come, because it just reconfirms my election over you and that retarded baby mama you so insanely put on the ticket with you. Now, you and your gay friends Joe Lieberman and Lindsay – what’s his last name?- just go nurse your hangovers down in the American Legion hall on K street. Fuckhead.” ?

Pithaughn February 25, 2010 at 4:31 pm

Ha, I’ll bet they thought smashing ACORN would teach the community organizer some manners.

SmallPotatoes February 25, 2010 at 7:20 pm

WTF is McCain cranky about? He’s married to a beer heiress, for chrissake. Maybe Cindy diapered him too tightly.

HopeyChangey February 25, 2010 at 7:47 pm

Obama conducted a six hour meeting without a teleprompter? Nu-uh. Say it ain’t so, Joe.

(btw, I’ve lurked here for years – I don’t think I can compete with the snark level here, but I’m sure gonna try)

HopeyChangey February 25, 2010 at 7:52 pm

dumbshits on the right think McCain pwned Obama in that statement reading into it, “Yes, I know you’re doing a shitty job, Obama.” Personally, I think he meant, “Yep, I know I’m a loser.”

sleptwithyetti February 25, 2010 at 10:18 pm

Thats my maverick.

swamijoe February 25, 2010 at 11:47 pm

[re=520366]HopeyChangey[/re]: I hear ya Hopey, ‘lurked around here for years’ myself and finally decided to join the fun…it’s a bit intimidating cuz these folks bring it EVERY DAY, but hell it’s worth the effort (from what I can tell worst thing they can do is BANHAMMMER you if ya step outa line? and evidently it takes a lot for that to happen! :)

Mr Blifil February 25, 2010 at 11:49 pm

Oh tis most sweet
when in one line
two crafts
directly meet

Nerdalicious February 26, 2010 at 6:36 am

Wow, fanfuckingtastic! Mcshame almost choked on his sniveling laughter after Prez smackdown. Nurse! Suction! I think this whole “summit” was orchestrated for that one shining moment.
